The problem is that nobody knows what Brexit means

Brexit means Brexit. That’s such an odd statement and one which is meaningless to all and sundry.

That’s because Brexit has fallen apart at its very seams, with pledges spilling out and dripping away because there were no actual policies and no actual decisions and all of us had to vote on a feeling.

While Theresa May keeps saying Brexit means Brexit and perhaps assumes we’re so stupid we’ll lap up this soundbite, it feels like sneak politics are on the go

What a brilliant way to play at politics. I can’t imagine how it feels right now to be a Leave voter, as so many were, and see what you thought you were voting for disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Are you really placated by hearing that Brexit means Brexit?

You see, no-one knows what Brexit means. Is it cutting off all movement of people, or having points systems, or paying for visas, or none of that as we can’t do that and still trade?

Is it spending the money on research or academia or fish, or ring-fenced projects, or billions of pounds on civil servants – and hiring in help from abroad – in order to spend years and years picking apart legal systems and negotiating until there is nothing left?

Is it pushing the button tomorrow, or in six months, or in two years?

Frankly, Brexit means Weetabix makes about as much sense as Brexit means Brexit.

A bowl of something that was much anticipated, but in time has turned into an unappetising, unpalatable mush. And however much sugar you put on top, it’s still the same.

While Theresa May keeps saying Brexit means Brexit and perhaps assumes we’re so stupid we’ll lap up this soundbite, it feels like sneak politics are on the go.

Let’s sneakily stop doing one thing which millions of people voted for and do something else instead which no-one voted for, wasn’t in the manifesto and no-one has even mentioned since 2007.

But while the country is still spinning about what Brexit means Brexit actually means, and what we thought it meant, and how the NHS is unlikely to see anything extra, let alone £350m a week, our prime minister is very busy setting out a new agenda which has not been voted for by a single person.
